Organization

World Council of Interfaith Congregations

History

On September 24, 2009, CIC-USA and OIIM signed a letter of intent to co-create a World Council of Interfaith Congregations. Both organisations committed to include as many interfaith congregations as possible from around the world in this creation process. At present other countries involved include Mexico, The Netherlands, Eire, The United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand.

To create, nurture and sustain the opportunities for everyone to have a place of worship, community and service that allows them freedom of spiritual expression with scope to create inclusive places.

Mission

To be the administrative and ecclesiastical home for independent interfaith / multifaith churches, congregations and seminaries in the USA. It is the ecclesiastic home for Interfaith as a spiritual expression.

Goals

Approach

As an ecclesiastical body for spiritual people of all faiths to be a bridge that brings credibility and accreditation to those who want to serve the world spiritually.

Structure

Leadership is elected by the member congregations to the Board of Directors and board representatives are elected to the officer positions of the association.
